How are host families screened and selected?
If your family is interested in hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange student, please contact please contact Win Dodge, HW Rotary Youth Exchange Officer (978.468.3474; wdodge “atmark” comcast.net). To ensure the safety and well being of students, as well as the success of each exchange, host families are carefully screened. All host families are required to fill out an application, which will then be reviewed by a committee of HW Rotarians. Then, a member of the HW Youth Exchange committee will come to your home for an in-home interview. During this interview, all family members are expected to be present. The in-home interview helps the chairperson determine the enthusiasm and willingness of all family members to host a student.
